Nope, not leased, nor planning on trading/selling in 3 years. I agree, it shouldn't be using oil after break in (used 2 qts IIRC during that period). It is my Dad's, so it's his memory about how much he topped off with. Could have been less.

That's what I thought I was getting through Blackstone Labs UOA test. But I now see that's the $40 test package. Well, I can always send Dyson this UOA for his $20 interpretation.

I'm immune to Jiffy Lube and US oil industry propaganda. It's environmental cause too. I want to reduce use/waste, same with the oil filter I use (Canton Mecca). Not to mention labor charges also. It's insane to think of doubling, even tripling the quantity of oil I use with those who change...

Correction: CayenneS is a NA V8. Cayenne Turbo is Twin Turbo. Then there's the Cayenne which is a V6 IIRC.

Who's Terry? I pay $30 for UOA + TBN + ?. I thought those comments were suppose to be insightful, but they seem to be quite...... useless sometimes. They need to see more extended drain data I guess. Most people think this kind of OCI milege is crazy, but I'm used to that.

SUS VISCOSITY @ 210 ºF 65-76 / 64.7

M1 0W-40 (as stated). Honestly, I don't know what Porsche expects of their Cayenne customers. Free Maintenance isn't covered (oil,..etc), not too mention expensive and a rip-off (what they charge for oil is obscene), and the recommended service is layed out every 20K miles. They use M1 0W-40...

Here's the UOA from the second oil change for this vehicle. Factory fill was M1 0W-40 (first UOA). A little less mileage for the Motul oil on this OCI, but wear values were slightly down from the first sample and TBN was higher for Motul vs M1. This is my Dad's car, so it's interesting to see...

Hi Pete, I dumped the PDF's, that's why they can't be viewed. We just need an easier way to type in the info. BITOG should provide a special text-box for input of pertinent info so it's more legible when posted here. It's hard organizing it all, especially w/ limited HTML skill. Plus, there's...

How? Is it just getting by the air filter then? Do you think changing it more often will help? Is the TT air filter better perhaps? Are you on the Coast as well? I'm just using the OEM air filter still and it's only been changed once as mentioned. And are you saying the wear is higher because of...

Gday. I'll go back to 10-12K OCI's and see how that looks. I still might take a sampe at 5K jst to check it out. I do have the new Canton Mecca 6.25" Spin-on Performance Filter now, so my oil level is up to 4.2 qts and the filtration will be even better.

So it's type or nothing eh? Here it is: EQUIPMENT MAKE: Audi EQUIPMENT MODEL: 1.8L Turbo FUEL TYPE: Gasoline (Unleaded) ADDITIONAL INFO: 2003 OIL USE INTERVAL: 14,466 Miles OIL TYPE & GRADE: Motul 8100 0W/40 (gas) MAKE-UP OIL ADDED: 0 qts COMMENTS: Aluminum increased, so the failed coil...

I can understand that, but it can also be a PITA to type it up (depending on the amount of info and how detailed one wants it to be). Plus I don't have the HTML skills, or know of a simpler way to transfer the UOA PDF to some text form that can be pasted here and be legible. They [BITOG Admin]...

I'm sure they get on w/o me. You should visit AZ sometimes. I coud use an oil freak like yourself. I have a little Motul following there now.

Wow. Since no one seems to have the "FREE" Adobe Acrobat Reader (which works in your browser as well) to read the PDF's I uploaded and supplied through the links, I guess I'll just have to post an image of it....
